A Consultant Pharmacist, Dr Clever Okeke has warned that
the use of Tramadol to get high or for delayed ejaculation
could lead to depression and irrational behaviour.
Okeke told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on
Monday that some youths and adults use Tramadol when
they want to feel `high’ or achieve delayed ejaculation.
According to him, even though Tramadol is meant for the
treatment of severe pains, it is sometimes abused because
of the euphoric feeling that comes with its use.

“Tramadol belongs to a group of analgesics called Opioid
Analgesics. It is the lowest in the class of cocaine.
“It has a very strong analgesic effect which is used for
strong or severe pains.

“But you find that because of the opioid effect- the euphoric
effect- which is one of the side effects, it makes the user
feel high. The pain goes away but the euphoria remains,’’ he
said.
Okeke also disclosed that some users may be tempted to
seek out the drug after the completion of treatment because
of the ‘good’ feeling experienced while using it to kill pains.
According to the pharmacist, the recommended dose of
Tramadol is 50mg to 100mg with a maximum of 200mg in
severe cases.
“Anything above 200mg will cause a massive euphoric
effect,’’ he added.
Okeke, however, noted that because cocaine was not easily
accessed, some people resort to using an overdose of
Tramadol to get the desired ‘high’ effect.
“Getting high or achieving delayed ejaculation cannot be
gotten with the recommended dose,’’ he added.
He also warned that high doses could cause convulsions
and seizures.
He called on parents to closely monitor their children, by
watching out for signs like prolonged sleep, hyperactivity or
any irrational behaviour.
